The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has cancelled their cross over service nationwide amid second wave of COVID-19.
This new development comes after the Christian leadership in the country directed worship centres to respect governments’ directives on New Year crossover services.
The CAN President, Dr. Samson Ayokunle, gave the directive in a statement titled, ‘Cooperate with government on crossover night service.’
Ayokunle called on churches across the federation to follow strictly, COVID-19 protocols implemented by the government.
Following the new directive, RCCG instructed members to connect with the virtual service of the church.
The RCCG Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, confirmed this on Tuesday.
He pointed out that the RCCG would not want to be perceived as being deviant to laid down constituted authorities.
“As an alternative, our General Overseer will be ministering online through our various social media platforms to members who may not be able to go for the crossover night service,” Olubiyi said.

It stated further that the January Holy Ghost Service (the first of the year 2021) taking place on Friday, January 8, will be held virtually.
Members were advised to tune in to Dove television and other electronic media to link up with the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s End of Year message and other aspects of the crossover program.
